Labor Day!

Monday was a good day. I am still getting used to where I live. I haven't figured out my whole traveling TO work thing. I ended up being late, but not too much. My time kept flying by though. I felt good I feel so much happier and lighter now that I am out of where I was.

Tuesday I think I am figuring out traveling time to work. I had a tough day cause I didn't feel so great. I think I am getting a cold. On top of it my coworker was sicker than me. She had some kind of tummy issues. She was miserable, and so I had to do more than usual. I didn't want her to pass out or get sicker. So I did diapers mainly, and cleaning. I got a break super late. I felt so yucky, and then my afternoon was spent bouncing around from the young 2's to the young 3's it wasn't bad. I just wasn't feeling well. I was glad to come home and rest. Life is going pretty good I feel good and happier.

Wednesday I felt sick. My body ached and I had a small cough, but not enough for me to say yes it's a cold let's take cold medicine. If I would of taken it I would of been in a fog. So I took Alive, and had Halls. I managed to get through the day I was with infants mostly. I just felt so sluggish and just not with it. I even got to go home a little early. I am finding the 'perfect' way to get to work. I am feeling more peace and happiness than I was. Now if this cold could leave me alone I'd be happy.

Thursday I have now developed a cough, but don't feel as yucky as I did so I'm hoping maybe now all I'll have is the cough. I am slowly adapting to getting to work. I think I have figured out the best way for me. I was in the infants all day, and it wasn't bad. It's just hard to be on my game when I am not feeling 100%

Friday was a low day. We had less amount of kids we think due to the holiday. Other than a cough and my voice sounding weird I am feeling pretty good. I was with my babies all day, and came home and packed to go up north.

Saturday we were in Williams. We enjoyed the cooler air, and the shops there.

Sunday we spent the day in Flagstaff. Enjoying some nice clouds and light rain. We also enjoyed some shops and art shows.

Monday we came home from Flagstaff and due to two construction areas and a accident it took us 4 hour to get home. The trip was just Rachel and i, but we had a wonderful time!La

Move

Monday was back to a kind of normal. I had my regular coworker back, but that just meant I had to move allot more. It was fine in the end. I ended up staying a little late, and came home and did a little more packing. I managed to get the clothes I wanted boxed up and I separated what is going to storage and what is going with me. I have mostly clothes to pack, and am gathering more boxes, and it's going well.

Tuesday I was in the infants all day and it was a fairly good day. I came home early and packed up a ton of clothes. I had to go back to work to have a meeting, and then finally got to be HOME. Sometimes it's nice to just SIT.

Wednesday I woke up feeling like I was hit by a truck. Put in a washer and tumble dried. I don't know why I felt like that, but I did. It was with me all day. I just felt worn out, and not myself. I had a good day I was with infants mostly, and two's for a little bit. I came home, and got pretty much all done packing. I have the bare necessities I need for the rest of my time here, but everything is pretty much packed. It's all separated and just has to be moved. I am feeling really good about this, and hope everyone else is too.

Thursday I felt allot better, but just kind of in my own mind. I worked with the 3's and infants and got home and packed more. I got my new headboard, bed, and dresser set up for delivery. I packed my car with boxes of stuff to take to my parents tomorrow. Getting ready for the big move. So my minds been racing, but in a good way. I don't feel bad about this at all. I feel this is right, and good and it's going to be a good growing opportunity.

Friday I didn't feel well at all. I don't know what it is but I felt sick all day and in a fog. I was with my infants all day. It wasn't a bad day they were all calm, and so forth. Nothing major happened which was nice since I didn't feel so great. I got off work later than usual, but it was alright. I have over time on the check. WHOOT! I took my packed car to my parents and unloaded it, and then packed the car again and took a load over. Mostly got all I need at my parents there. I have like two bigger items I can't do without help. So I'm pretty much done with being in the house. I have my car packed for the new place. I just have a few final things to gather, and I'm out. So I'm just taking in the last night. It doesn't feel scary or anything. It's a peace filled moment. A little sad knowing I've had so much here in a short time. However it will be a good move in my life to go on.

Saturday I moved all day long. I got all my stuff out of my house, and to my new place by about 1130. I then spent the rest of the day unpacking and getting settled. It was a late night filled with lots of emotions.

Sunday was my first full day in the new place. I did more unpacking and more getting settled stuff. After a while I went and pampered myself and got my toes done. We had visitors over and I got to bed late. However after this night I was completely unpacked and set up to live.

UGH

Monday I had a busy busy busy day. It was back to school so there was lots of changes. I just kept going and running around. I didn't get to really sit down until my lunch break. Which is unusual. Usually I am able to sit and play with the babies or feed them. Today I was just going it was Monday so our laundry is behind. It was just a never ending catch up game. I got home and I worked on packing and going through stuff. In the passed two days I have managed to go through my nightstand, the bottom of the closet, two desk drawers, 'the cubbie', all my VHS video tapes, all the books I have read, all my photo albums, poems, stories, and photos. It's amazing how much stuff just accumulates over the years. My goal is to have a good majority of 'stuff' packed before Labor Day. Only because I have to make a trip to my parents house before I go up north. So I want to get some stuff moved so it's less on the day we move fully. I have 3 boxes packed. Which is pretty dang good. I have all my old books that I want to keep cause I love them. All the VHS are of performances so i won't get rid of them. Then my photos, stories, poems and stuff are of course being kept. I have nearly filled the trash with crap I don't need or can't donate. I have some books and stuff to take to a place and either get cash or store credit for it. I'm impressed with how much I have gotten done. My back and feet hurt which was a hint it's time to take a break.

Tuesday was not as crazy as yesterday. As we get into the swing of school being back in session it's always a little bumpy. Today I got to pass out breakfast, work with the young 3's, the infants, and the older 2's. It was pretty good all around. I came home and did some more packing. I have taken down most of my pictures, and packed them so the walls look bare. I got the 'cubbie' and the top of the shelf cleared, and I did some of the top of the old t/v stand. I have been blessed in getting 3 boxes a day from work. So I have 6 boxes from work packed. Which is good, and I started to go through my current books. I think I'll next begin to tackle the closets. I am really making allot of progress. I'm feeling sore, but at the same point the stress is making me yucky. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have most of my stuff packed to take to my folks. I have a goal to get a good bulk of stuff packed and moved back home. Before Labor Day when I have to stop by the house anyway.

Wednesday I was in the infant room all day it was a good day. My morning coworker was told to take the rest of the week off. So she gets a well deserved break, and things are going pretty good. We are starting to get settled into the school back in session groove. I got home today, and Rachel brought me some boxes, and she took my game cube, xbox and a couple other things. I can always get them back when I have a place for them again. In the meantime her and Jonathan get to have some fun games. I packed allot of stuff today. I am trying to get as much packed as I can so it's not so stressful when it's time to get out. My goal is to have most of it done by Labor day. In case things get even weirder than they have here. I have almost all the front room packed up with the exception of a few little things. I have to get some more boxes, but I'm going to go through a closet that's full of board games. The bathroom and my room and start weeding out things. I've gotten rid of ALLOT of stuff. I am so amazed that I still have SO much with donating and throwing away so much.

Thursday I was in the 1 year olds or infants all day. It wasn't a bad day. I got off a little late, but that's alright. I still got allot accomplished when I got home. I packed the rest of my big bookshelf with the exception of some books, and all the trinkets from my room are packed. I have shelves and a few pictures left. My next goal is the game closet, the bathroom, and a good part of my room. I want to pretty much be done and ready to get out before the end of August hits. Things have gotten really weird here. I don't know what's going on with Trisha, but I think she's lieing about allot of things. So I need to do my best to get out. The sooner the better.

Friday was full of inserting things. I got off work early, and went to get some stuff to pack with. I packed for a while. I'm almost all done with everything. I mainly have my clothes to pack up now. I had a couple opportunities come up for me to live in. However, in the end it didn't work out. I'm all emotional, but know that I am doing the right thing.

Saturday I was a emotional mess I didn't know what end was up or down or around. I felt so defeated and done. I met with Rachel and Jonathan who helped me take some stuff to DI and Half Price Books. I got a little money from the books more than I thought I would. It was a blessing. All day long I had been talking with Rachel and Jonathan about the move and things from Friday. They were offering ideas of apartments and living situations. I took them into mind and kept praying for the way to be shown. I went to my house later that night, and felt really weird. Then it sounded like someone was trying to break into my house. So Jonathan came and checked things out, and I stayed at their house.

Sunday I went to church with Rachel. I was still praying for a way for something to be figured out. We went to lunch and i came home. I decided at that point I was going to just pack up all I have except what I need to live for a month. I was working on that and just feeling defeated. When Rachel called with a offer to live with them for a short time. So I talked to my parents, and we decided it would be good to take this offer. So now we are going to hopefully get me moved in before Sept 1. I am feeling very blessed

Life changes

Monday was a good day things went really well. I was in infants all day. It was super busy, but good. I got off late, but its all good.

Tuesday was a good day too. Not nearly as busy as Monday, but was good. Love being with my infants.

Wednesday was so crazy. We had 12 babies. Again really?? Come on state says we can only have 11 babies. Where the HELL am I suppose to put this baby? The poor baby has no crib, no cubbie, no storage place for her stuff. Plus our first things first coach came by. Then I was alone with 24 3 year olds. I don't know them or the room, and the excuse was oh the other teacher is in here. Really?! No she's not you have her in the kitchen. I was so frustrated on top of not feeling well. Then I got off work late. I was never so glad to go home, and forget about this day.

Thursday was good, but busy. We had 13 babies. Yes 13! They were all there, and it was a mess. It was organized chaos. It was not to bad just a lot of things to do, and no time to do it all in. People wonder why I'm dead tired at the end of the day. Why all I want to do is put my feet up and do nothing. Hmmm? 13 children under the age of 1 yeah you tell me. I love it though. It's a good tired, and I love working with my babies.

Friday was a good yet tough day. My opening co worker is on vacation till next Thursday. So I had someone different to spend the morning with. It went really well though. I didn't feel stressed out, and I didn't feel overwhelmed. It was crazy, but not overwhelming like it had felt before. It was also sad cause one of our babies last day was today. The parents don't want to remove the child, but it's not working out. They are backtracking, and it's just out of the way for them to come to the center. They have tried for 2 months to make it work, and it just didn't happen. So we had some sadness today. I felt stressed out due to the decision to have to move out of my home. I love this home, and it's been a big blessing to be here. However, without details it's come to the time where I need out of it. So I came home from work, and went through our shed for a hour. Then cleaned up I had so many spiderwebs and dirt and crap on me it was nasty. I got rid of some stuff that was destroyed anyhow. So got cleaned up, and decided to go hang with Rachel and Jonathan. Which turned into staying the night with them.

Saturday we all had slept in I know I hadn't had good sleep so I woke up at 11 and so did Rachel and Jonathan. We did managed to get alot of things done. I got some socks, a dress, a shirt, and pants for under $40. GO ME!! We also got a bike ride and swim in. Good day, and I stayed the night with them.

Sunday we got up and I sewed my dress and Rachel's. I did my own nails and hers. We then went to lunch and grocery shopping. I came home, and did laundry, and went through some stuff that I need to to get ready for my packing. I threw out 3 big trash bags of stuff. Some of the things had been sitting here for 4 years plus at my house for a few years. It was time to throw them out. I then stopped to rest. I figured a few fiances out, and relaxed. Over all not to bad of a day. Little sad, but over all good.

Holy busy

Monday I love when it rains here. It was so nice to feel the fresh air. It didn't last to long, but long enough. It was a crazy day I was with school agers then infants. We had so much crap at work today. We had a crew come in to strip and wax the floors. Which usually happens once a month and then once a month carpets get cleaned. It's usually over a weekend. Ok so the people that came in to wax the floors. Did a HORRIBLE job. Not only did they just throw things wherever they didn't do the job right. They then took 2 classrooms furniture and left it outside. It POURED and ruined stuff. Some stuff is replaceable others aren't over $5,000 worth of damage. The company is trying to say they didn't do it. The owner of the school came out. He was so mad. He is going after the waxing company, and he fired the one who was there. Then our ops manager came to do hot spots. It wasn't a good day to do it. The school was a mess and every classroom looked horrible. It was a bad day, but we will get through.

Tuesday wasn't as bad as Monday. It was actually pretty good for the most part. It was calm and things went pretty well. Even getting off work a hour later because they can't staff right. I still had allot of good in my day.

Wednesday was crazy I was in school age, infants, and two's. I felt like I was running all day and
not had a chance to stop. To top it off I didn't feel good all day. Here's to tomorrow being better.

Thursday wasn't as crazy as the rest of the week. It was a little crazy we had help from another school again, but I was with infants. It was really a good day over all other than getting off work late. Which seems to be the usual any more. It's fine they can either get me off early come end of the week or pay me the overtime. I don't see why we can't have the overtime we bust our butts for anyhow. I came home and was so out of it I burned my hand making dinner. It currently is being iced and I pray it's ok soon. It hurts right now.

Friday was a beautiful day! I felt great, and the day was really good. I got to work in a bunch of different rooms. I got off work early, and got to get some errands run. I also got some housework done. It was wonderful! My burn had a blister, but is healing well. I even spent some time with Rachel and Jonathan.

Saturday I was with Rachel and Jonathan all day. We watched 2 movies. Red Riding Hood and Season of the Witch. I painted Rachel's nails and dyed her hair. I did my own nails as well. We then went to Cabela's always fun to go there, and the mall and just hung out. Then I came home.

Here it is Sunday I am home finishing up some house work, and relaxing. This week had it's ups and downs, but I survived. Have a great week!
